So, so, so delicious. Perfect degree of smokiness as well as smoothness. I like Lapsangs a lot, but I feel like I never have to try a new one again, (except maybe Upton’s Black Dragon Lapsang), because it’s going to take something beyond exceptional to beat this one. I could drink it everyday, and in fact, I think I just might.

Messed up my timer, so my steep time may have been off. I’ve had this a few times, and have yet to be wowed by it, but have also yet to be disappointed by it. This time seems a bit understeeped, but I’ve definitely oversteeped this tea in the past. I’d say more experimentation is necessary with this one.

I think this is my favorite blend of black tea: malty, sweet, smooth, and absolutely delicious. I bet this would pair exceptionally with some sort of pastry.

Tasted very similar to Peet’s Ti-Kwan-Yin. I think I prefer this, though that might just be because it came in a fancy box in the mail. Nevertheless, definitely a delicious and calming cup, one of my favorites.

Great summer tea for watching the sunset and reading a good book. There’s something about this tea that I find very relaxing, and I can feel waves of warmth washing over me and putting me at ease whilst I drink it. I’m not sure if it will earn a place as a staple in my cupboard as I develop my budding palate, but it’s gotten me very interested in oolong teas. Pairs great with a touch of fresh lemon.
